Gas Requirements
GENERAL INFORMATION
Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an
unregulated gas line can cause excessive heat or fire.
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.), and
make sure the serial plate agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately
for an additional cost which will enable you to convert your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your
grill from N.G. to L.P. Please see your local dealer for more information.
Always have a qualified service technician perform difficult conversions
or modifications.
For natural gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible
to the grill. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1-1998.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use
pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent qualified service
technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the
installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1998. Gas conversions kits
may be purchased separately. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the
type of gas (N.G. or L.P.) used for your grill.
This grill and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
This grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).
The installation of this grill must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998.
Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation
code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes.
20
Gas Requirements
L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Amana™Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and
regulator assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with
the grill or a replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by Amana™).
This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are
not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.
LP hose/
regulator supplied
with complete grill
and cart.
(Type 1
connector)
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the
flow of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas
when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet
specified, as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve
outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CSA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill protection device, OPD, on it.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications
for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of
Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “ Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous
Goods.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to
insure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism
internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the
valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow
causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “ OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being
used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.
• Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill.
21
Pre Operation Leak Testing
GENERAL INFORMATION
Although all internal gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment,
installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the
whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
TESTING
1. Turn off the burner control knobs.
2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to
open.
3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear,
there is no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected,
immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.
4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the
control knobs back off.
6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to
the regulator.
Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is replaced.
Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected.
NOTE: When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose
connections, including the side burner. A slight leak in the system can result in a low
flame, or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a leak
detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off
the gas supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow making the grill difficult to light
or causing low flames.
NOTE: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas
company or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. If necessary, replace the
faulty part with the manufacturer’ s recommended replacement part. A slight leak
could cause a fire.
22

Crossover Burner
GRILL LOCATION
Using the Grill
Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. Never
operate the grill in enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide
buildup, which could result in injury or death. Place the grill on a level surface.
Avoid moving the grill while it is operation.
NOTE: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind.
Clearance to combustible construction - A minimum of 12” from the sides and back must be
maintained from the gas grill above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.
Clearance to non-combustible construction - A minimum of 6” clearance from the back of the grill
to non-combustible construction is required for the lid to fully open.
Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the appliance.
GENERAL RULES
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking!
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2. Light the grill burners using the instructions provided in this manual.
3. Turn the control knobs to desired temperature “ High, Medium, or Low” and preheat the grill for
10 minutes before cooking.
4. Adjust heat settings to meet your cooking needs for desired results.
5. Allow grill to cool down, wipe off any splatters or grease and clean the drip tray as needed.
6. Do not put a cover on the grill while it is still hot as it could start a fire.
Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from any
heated surfaces.
24
Using the Rotisserie
The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an
infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense
heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.
Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent
warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.
NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be necessary to
remove the grates and flavor grids when cooking larger portions of meat on the rotisserie. This is by design,
since this configuration gives you the most possible room above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5
minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 12 lbs. of food. The motor is
mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of
the grill. Make sure the rotisserie motor is completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie
cord is away from any hot surfaces.
Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.

grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord
facing the back of the grill. (See Fig. 53)
With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into an
electrical outlet, it is now ready to operate. Slide one of the
meat forks onto the rod (prongs facing away from the
rounded end). Push the rod through the center of the food,
then slide the second meat fork onto the rod (prongs
toward the food). Center the food to be cooked on the rod,
then push the meat forks firmly together. Tighten the
thumb screws. It may also be necessary to wrap food with
butcher’ s string, (never use nylon or plastic string) to
secure loose portions. (See Fig. 54)
Fig. 54
Pointed End Of Rod
Once the food is secure, insert the pointed end of the
rotisserie rod into the motor assembly and rest the other
end on the support on the right-hand side of the grill.
(If needed, remove the cooking grates for more room).
Turn the power switch to the “ On” position to start the
rotisserie motor.
NOTE: Remove the rotisserie when not in use. Store
the unit indoors when not in use. Remove warming
shelf when using rotisserie.
Do not use the rotisserie in the rain.

Accessory Lighting
ROTISSERIE LIGHTING
Open the lid. Push and turn the control knob for the
rotisserie counter clockwise to the “ HIGH” position.
Wait 5 seconds. Then press and hold the electronic
igniter button. You’ ll hear a snapping sound. If the
burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the control
knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.
(See Fig. 55)
If the igniter does not function, the burner can be lit by
holding a lit match to the burner while the control knob
is turned counter clockwise to “ HIGH” . (See Fig. 56)
NOTE: After the first use the stainless steel around
the burner will darken. This is a normal reaction of
premium stainless steel to heat and is not a defect.
The infrared panel will also darken after initial use.
This is also a normal occurrence.
Fig. 55
Fig. 56
NOTE: Do Not operate the main
burners and infrared back burner at
the same time. This can cause
warping of the roll top grill hood.
SIDE BURNER LIGHTING
Push and turn the side burner control knob to the
“ HIGH” position and immediately press and hold
the electronic igniter button. You’ ll hear a
snapping sound. It may be necessary to hold the
electronic starter button for about 4 seconds. If
the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the
knob to the “ OFF” position and wait 5 minutes
before trying again. Repeat above steps to light
remaining burners. (See Fig. 57)
MATCH LIGHTING OF THE BURNER
If by chance the electronic igniter does not light the
burner, the burner may be lit with a match. Keep
your face as far away from the burner as possible
and place a lit, long stem match through the
spaces in the grate to the ports of the burner.
Position the match near the burner ports and
push and turn the control knob to the “ HIGH”
position. (See Fig. 58)

DRIP TRAY
Care and Maintenance
The drip tray located below the grill, inside the cart, should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy
buildup of debris.
Note: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover
sold separately). Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left
uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip
tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We recommend
cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
COOKING GRATES
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off
the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is
allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with
a mild detergent.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners,
this is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of
grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn
appearance. For removal, use an non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
Note: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Note: Always keep your grill covered when not in use.
IGNITER ACCESS
(UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF)
To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and
locking nut from front panel of the side burner and
igniter will fall out through the bottom
REAR INFRARED BURNER
Light and burn the rear infrared burner at least once a month to ensure there is not a build-up of debris or grease on the
burner. This will ensure the ceramic burner will continue to operate as it should.
PORCELAIN PARTS
Certain parts of your Grill have a porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass-based product, and is highly
durable to standard wear and tear. However, porcelain is sensitive to concussive blows, which can
create interlaced micro-fractures, or “ spider-webs.” Please take care not to strike any porcelain
covered parts with solid objects, drop them, or create any other concussive blows. These interlaced
micro-fractures are common and may lead to minor chipping. Neither the chipping nor the interlaced
micro-fractures will adversely affect the performance or your grill, and are not covered under the
warranty for porcelain parts.

Troubleshooting Your Grill
GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
• The smell of gas.
• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (some yellow at the tips is OK)
• The grill will not get hot enough.
• Burners make a snapping noise.
• The grill heats unevenly.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least once
a year to reduce this risk.
BEFORE CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the following checklist.
PROBLEM
Grill will not light when the igniter button is pushed.
SOLUTION
Is your gas supply turned on ?
If this is an L.P. grill, is there gas in your tank ? Check your
gas level.
Is one of your burners turned on? Allow up to four seconds
of gas flow to ignite.
Is your igniter working?
- You should hear a snapping sound when you press
the igniter?
- If you hear a snapping sound can you see a spark at
the electrodes?
Note - You will need to remove your cooking
grates and flavor grids to see the electrodes.
Check to see if your igniter battery is installed correctly
with the negative side in.
Check your igniter battery and replace if needed.
Check for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes.
Check to see if debris is blocking the electrodes.
If the igniter is not working can you light the grill with
a match?
28
PROBLEM
Troubleshooting Your Grill
SOLUTION
Grill will not light with a match or low heat with dial set
to "High" position.
• Is your gas supply fully turned on?
• If this is an L.P. grill is there gas in your tank ? Check
your gas level.
• If this is an L.P. grill, shut off gas supply, disconnect gas
line at tank, reconnect the line to the tank.
• Make sure all the knobs are in the off position, then
open the gas supply valve on the L.P. tank very slowly
1/4 turn, then open fully (at least two full turns). Check
flame height again.
• Check to insure the gas supply line or hose is not
kinked.
• If only one burner appears low, check and clean the
burner ports if clogged or dirty.
• Check for leaks.
Note - Pre-Heating time can take from 5 to 10 minutes.
Flame is erratic
• Check gas connection
- look for kinked hose.
- make sure gas supply valve is fully open.
• Gas level may be low.
• Grill may be in need of cleaning.
Flare-ups
• Check flavor grids and cooking grates for excess food or
grease build-up.
• Ensure grill is not placed directly in the path of wind.
• Be sure drip tray is clean, (do not use aluminum foil on
drip tray.)
Note: Some flare-ups may be inevitable if cooking
greasy foods.
Burner flame is mostly yellow or orange, possibly in
conjunction with smell of gas.
• Check the burner inlet for obstructions. Particularly at air
inlets for each burner.
• Grill may be in an area that is too windy.
Cart door does not align properly with cart
• Loosen the four 1/2” bolts under the grill hood that hold
grill to cart. Slide grill head left or right as needed until
door is aligned properly. Retighten bolts.
WARNING: Move grill head gently to the left or right
on the cart! After the four bolts have been loosened,
the grill is not attached to the cart and could fall, causing damage or physical injury.
